#10 in the Chief Inspector Gamache series had me laughing like the others but also crying hard. Crying hard over a duck at that (#iykyk)! The main plot would have seemed inconceivable to me 10 years ago. However,after seeing blatant corruption in the highest levels of our government embraced in the real world, it feels sadly plausible. Another great read by Penny—entertainment with heart that makes you think. 👩‍🍳💋

Okay Carrie, I‘m excited! And I gave you double this amount on my list 🫢🫢😂😂 (I can never narrow it down). I‘ve read #6 and #10 (loved both), but none of the others 👏🏻 I‘ll start with I‘m Sorry You Feel That Way since I bought it recently (have you read Our Fathers by Wait? Excellent book). Yay! @CSeydel

CBee @monalyisha as always, thank YOU for your hard work!! 2w
monalyisha Of course! I haven‘t read the Jess Kidd title on your list but I loved the tagged. Also, The Road to Dalton popped up on a few lists & I think it looks amazing! 2w
CSeydel @cbee I did read Our Fathers! That‘s what spurred me to get I‘m Sorry You Feel That Way. It was a very different story but the writing was again excellent - the characters truly feel like living, breathing people. 2w

CSeydel @CBee I had a sort of meh reading year this year, and many of my favorite books were either niche nonfiction or part of a series, so they didn‘t feel suitable to recommend blindly. But if you want more choices, I can suggest some additional titles! 2w
CBee @monalyisha thanks for the additional rec! I‘m excited 😊 2w
CBee @CSeydel same for me, I bought it right after I read Our Fathers 😊👏🏻 2w
CBee @CSeydel I‘d love that! If you want to start an email correspondence we can - I‘m at cydneybean@gmail.com. I actually have another book I read right after I made my list that I wanted to mention too. 2w
Amiable “Being Mortal” is a wonderfully written work. 2w
CBee @Amiable I‘m going to check that one out on audio! 2w
CSeydel Oh it looks like I didn‘t put All the Sinner Bleed on my list, but since you enjoyed Blacktop Wasteland you might want to check it out! 2w
CSeydel @Amiable He‘s an excellent writer. It was so powerful! 2w
CBee @CSeydel I have that one! I‘ve read all of his books except Sinners. He‘s fantastic! 2w
CSeydel @CBee 👍🏻🤩 2w

#10 in this series is a 5 star read.50 years ago,a group of friends traveled to Holy Island, off Northumberland‘s coast on a school trip.The trip was marred by a student‘s death in the causeways rising tidewaters.These friends have been meeting regularly every five years for reunions on the island.During this year‘s reunion,one of them is discovered hung in his bedroom.Long held secrets & betrayals have lethal consequences for the the group‘s ⬇️

kspenmoll ⬆️ members & Vera‘s team. Holy Island itself felt like a character to me. #serieslove2024 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. https://www.visitnorthumberland.com/explore/destinations/islands/holy-island (edited) 1mo

Boo #10 in the Hidden Norfolk series. An odd murder, then a double murder, with both victims having loose ties to Tom. We see his shell crack a bit in this one.

You know what? I had fun with this one! I was not too sure about Ford and Corrie annoyed me a bit, but I highly enjoyed the adventure and archeological aspects of the book. The last few chapters were exciting and I'm actually looking forward to reading a sequel (if there is one). 4⭐️

I enjoyed this one better than #10. There was a amount of action. The ending was a little farfetched, but it's a kids' book. I liked how the guys were involved in this one, too. 4 stars.

I read this book for a Readathon I was participating and it was an opportunity to read an old book in my tbr. That means I was in the summer mood and found it okay. However, this is a quite typical mermaid story with a YA cheesy romance with a not so easy male protagonist. I found Galen likes to control others, what happen with these male characters? But I liked the world and plot in general. There were sad parts 2.9/3⭐️

Gissy (Cont.) at the end of each book in this trilogy, you will find an interview with the author. She made some negative comments about Stephanie Meyer indicating that if “...Meyer can write a book, then you (author) can”. Does she think that her trilogy is superior to The Teilight Saga?😳A. Banks, your trilogy is not superior, I found it almost in the same line: YA cheesy regular, reading that we decided to read. Who this author think she is? 😐 4mo
DieAReader 🥳Great finish! 4mo

Suet624 It sure seems like a negative thing to say about a fellow author! 4mo
Gissy @Suet624 Yes, she said is conscious of her comment because she added “...One day, Stephanie Meyer is going to give me a bloody nose....Could you come at me from the right side?...”😳Violent too. Definitely she thinks her books are a master piece😐🤷🏽‍♀️ 3mo

Family, trauma and grief are the main themes of this book about four sisters. An interesting look at how being raised in the same home is experienced in a different way but each sibling. Good writing and interesting characters make this an engaging read.
